In other
words, Huawei and Zte modems are tested and trusted, but the bone of contention
here is that most of the MTN, Airtel, Glo and Etisalat modems are Huawei or Zte
made, customized to a particular network and does allow the use of any other
network SIM apart from the network that it was made for.

Whereas getting
yourself a universal modem will allow you to start using any
network SIM without any tweaking or unlocking straightaway.

Now here
comes the bigger deal; remember that we said that Huawei and Zte produces the
best out of modem, and MTN, Airtel, Glo and Etisalat Modems are mostly Huawei
and Zte makes, what about the universal modems out there that you are going to
buy, which company manufactured them?

Most of the
universal modems out there are made by unknown modem makers and in fact most of
them even tend to be fake and will end up giving you one or two problems when
you purchase and try to make use of them.

Problems
like the modem not being detected by your PC, or SIM network signal not coming up
and so many other unforeseen issues are very common with universal modems.

So your best
bet when it comes to buying of modem/dongle is for you to go for either of
Huawei or Zte MTN, Airtel, Glo or Etisalat network modem.

Good a thing
now is that most of these networked modems can be unlocked easily and freely
with the appropriate tools and codes, while the few of the stubborn modems can also be unlockedwith few pennies.

The older
Huawei and Zte networked modems are easier and free to unlock as a result of
the 35… IMEI initials and the old algorithm unlock codes do the job flawlessly,
but the new versions with 86… IMEI requires new algorithm codes for you to
unlock them, which can also be easily obtained.

Since we are
not discussing modem unlocking today but a suggestion on the best modem/dongle
to buy, we want to sound it again loudly that you should go for any of the
networked Huawei or Zte modem and unlock it if you want to use any other
network SIM on them.

Avoid universal
modem like a plague in order to avoid telling of stories that touches.

You should
consider going for any of the Etisalat Zte modem or MTN Huawei or Zte modem as they
are currently the easiest to unlock freely.

Rumours and
leaks photo and specs of the Samsung Galaxy S6 have occupied most tech media
platform recently until it was finally unveiled at the on-going MWC.

Flash internal memory of 32GB/128GB without expandable card slot, the 5MP front
facing camera, the Exynos 7420 chipset and the latest Corning Gorilla Glass 4 back panel protection.

After the
Galaxy S6, the next catchy device at the on-going event that was unveiled is
the hTC One M9 that will definitely be
taking over the place and position of One
M8.

hTC One M9, with similar physical design as its
predecessor packs 32GB internal memory with 3GB Ram and a whopping 20.7MP rear camera capable of taking
crystal clear images, also has the latest Corning Gorilla Glass 4 screen and
back protection, it comes with quick charge technology and a non-removable
Li-Po 2840 mAh battery.

The fourth
in our list today is none other than the exquisite LG Wearable Urbane which can easily be seen as the best smart-watch ever and the first
with LTE connectivity to boot and
runs on a new LG wearable platform other than its also unveiled twin version
that runs on Android and without the LTE connectivity to boot technology.

Those are
the devices recently unveiled that are currently driving many mobile tech
freaks crazy across the globe in the on-going prestigious MWC event taking

common these days to see people going for smartphones with Wi-Fi hotspot
enabled, as this feature easily allow them to share their internet connection
with other wireless devices.

But have you
thought about having or turning your PC into Wi-Fi hotspot for same purpose?

Almost all

Wi-Fi hotspot in seconds for sharing your internet connections.

There are
other method(s) of achieving this like the use of Command Prompt with some codes, but I can assure you that not many
people like playing with codes and that the method (Softhotspot) that we will
be presenting here offers you the simplest way of doing it.

Without much
ado, to turn your PC into a Wi-Fi hotspot;

Download Softhotspot here and
install it and you have just succeeded in turning your PC into a Wi-Fi hotspot.

the Softhotspot and set up the interface as follows for your internet
connection sharing;

on the Primary Password to change it to Secondary and then input at least 8
characters for your password

= => choose
the Maximum number clients/connections that you want to share with

= => From
the connection to share drop down menu, select the connection you want to share

= => On the
hotspot, and it will prompt you to restart your network for the connection to
be shared, so just choose yes and restart/reconnect your network.

You are done
with the Sofhotspot interface set up, and you can then on the Wi-Fi of the
other device(s) that you want to share with, choose the network you are connecting
to and input the password you created above.

When it
comes to knowing the fixtures of games and seeing the live results of sport
events like Football, Tennis, Basketball etc. Livescore has proven over the
years as one of the greatest suppliers of live match feeds.

Livescore is
a very popular website on the internet today that witness volumes of visitors
on daily bases that troop to the site to check for fixtures and live results of
their favourite games and teams.

The site has
very simple outlay, easy to understand and also loads very fast, thus becoming
many people favourite and landing spot.

Yes, it is
true that the only constant thing we have today is change and webmasters from
time to time tend to upgrade their sites to make it more palatable than what is
used to be before.

Today, we
are going to be talking about the new development made by Livesores on their
mobile site view.

It seems
that rather than upgrading the mobile view of their sites, they went ahead to
downgrade, in the sense that some features of the former mobile view of
Livescore that are very palatable are no longer visible on new mobile view.

Features
like Today’s Match and also to see the match fixtures of games that will be
played in the next 3 to 4 days are no longer visible on the new mobile view.

And again,
when you now visit the mobile version of Livescore on low end devices like Java
phones on Opera Mini browser you will only see the livescore games without
former options of navigating through the site by country lists.

According to
some, they say that browsing is their birth right and that they must browse…lol…who
am I to even try to dispute that statement!

But truth is
that in this modern world, staying without internet connectivity just for a day
is becoming like a sin that cannot be forgiven.

People have
really gone global with the help of the internet, far and near, they have
connected amongst themselves and I am beginning to wonder what the cravings for
internet access will look like in 5 years to come when it has already gotten to
its peak presently.

There is nothing
as sweet as browsing with high speed, smooth and stable internet connectivity
and there is equally nothing as bitter as strolling like a snail with poor
internet connectivity.

Fact is that
in this era, we all need high-speed and stable internet connectivity in any
part of the world that we happen to find ourselves today; but it is sad that
sometimes some of these types of internet connectivity are not readily and
constantly available for some folks.

Just this
morning as I logged into my Facebook
account, somebody, a friend has just posted on his Facebook wall “that the only thing left for him is to break
his MTN SIM”; which is a pure sign of frustration on his part with the MTN
internet network, most probably in his location.

While some
are currently happy, including me, that MTN
is presently doing the magic as in good internet connectivity, some are
seeing the opposite.

That is
exactly what is obtainable in our environment today, as our locations still
remains one of the major factors that determines the stability of internet
network with any of the network providers in the country.

Some will
currently tell you that Etisalat is presently blazing for them, while others
still believe that Airtel is not as bad as what many think and that their
internet services have improved drastically as result of mass exodus of subscribers
from the network to other networks, thereby leaving the network currently less
congested.

Yesterday, a
friend told me that Glo is truly rocking his internet world.

Now, the big
question is; which network is currently rocking your own internet world? If you
don’t mind, you can share your tricks and tweak for others to tap.

Finally, the
essence of today’s topic is for you to feel free to tell us the network that is
presently rocking your internet world at high-speed…It is confession time…confess
your current internet glorious network now!

You can use
the comment box below to pour out your confessions and see if you will be
forgiven…lol..

Innjoo One
is Innjoo latest flagship phone that was just launched this month, while Tecno
Phantom Z Mini is part of Tecno flagship device that was launched on the last
month of last year.

After digging
in and out the features of the recently launched Innjoo One, we saw that the most likely device in similar range and
specs that can be best compared with it is the Tecno Phantom Z Mini, and hence we chose to compare between Innjoo One and
Tecno Phantom Z Mini today.

As in our
previous way of comparing between two devices of similar nature, we normally do
the homework complete for you, other than giving you the full specs of both
phones and allow you spot out their differences yourself, we go to the extent
of analysing and bringing out those features alone that puts the phones apart.

And that is
exactly what we are still going to be doing today for you in our comparison
between these two devices with amazing features; Innjoo One and Tecno Phantom
Z Mini

Without further
ado, below are major features that differentiate Innjoo One with Tecno Phantom
Z Mini;
